The Autonomous University of Puebla (in Spanish: "Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, BUAP") is the oldest and largest university in Puebla, Mexico. Founded on 15 April 1587 as "Colegio del Espíritu Santo", the school was sponsored by Society of Jesus during most of the Spanish colonial era before turning into a public college in 1825 and eventually into a public university in 1937.

The flagship campus is located in the city of Puebla, although more than nine facilities are distributed across the state. Currently, it is one of the 105 institutes participating in the Alice Experiment at CERN. citeweb | author = CERN | title = The ALICE Collaboration | url = http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/Public/PeopleAndInstitutions/institutes/index.html | accessdate = 2008-06-18 ]
